Q92
An emf of 20 V is applied at time t = 0 to a circuit containing in series 10 mH inductor and 5 Ω\Omega resistor. The ratio of the currents at time t = \infty and at t = 40 s is close to : (Take e2 = 7.389)
A 1.06
B 0.84
C 1.15
D 1.46
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

i = i0(1 -

eRtL{e^{ - {{Rt} \over L}}}

) i\infty = i0(1 -

e{e^{ - \infty }}

) = i0 \therefore

ii40s{{{i_\infty }} \over {{i_{40s}}}}

=

i0i0(1e5×4010×103){{{i_0}} \over {{i_0}\left( {1 - {e^{ - {{5 \times 40} \over {10 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}}}} \right)}}

=

1(1e2000){1 \over {\left( {1 - {e^{ - 2000}}} \right)}}

\approx 1 Then most appropriate option is 1.06

Q93
An arc lamp requires a direct current of 10 A at 80 V to function. If it is connected to a 220 V (rms), 50 Hz AC supply, the series inductor needed for it to work is close to :
A 0.044 H
B 0.065 H
C 80 H
D 0.08 H
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

From the circuit, we have

R=8010=8ΩR = {{80} \over {10}} = 8\,\Omega
10=220R2+XL264+XL2=2210 = {{220} \over {\sqrt {{R^2} + X_L^2} }} \Rightarrow \sqrt {64 + X_L^2} = 22
XL2=48464=420\Rightarrow X_L^2 = 484 - 64 = 420
XL=420=20.5Ω\Rightarrow {X_L} = \sqrt {420} = 20.5\,\Omega
ωL=20.5\Rightarrow \omega L = 20.5
L=20.52π×50=20.5314=0.065HL = {{20.5} \over {2\pi \times 50}} = {{20.5} \over {314}} = 0.065\,H

Q95
A series LCR circuit driven by 300 V at a frequency of 50 Hz contains a resistance R = 3 kΩ\Omega, an inductor of inductive reactance XL = 250 π\piΩ\Omega and an unknown capacitor. The value of capacitance to maximize the average power should be : (Take π\pi2 = 10)
A 4 μ\muF
B 25 μ\muF
C 400 μ\muF
D 40 μ\muF
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

From maximum average power XL = XC 250π\pi =

12π(50)C{1 \over {2\pi (50)C}}

\Rightarrow C = 4 ×\times 10-6

Q96
A sinusoidal voltage of peak value 283 V and angular frequency 320/s is applied to a series LCR circuit. Given that R=5 Ω\Omega , L=25 mH and C=1000 μ\mu F. The total impedance, and phase difference between the voltage across the source and the current will respectively be :
A 10 Ω\Omega and tan-1 (53)\left( {{5 \over 3}} \right)
B 7Ω7\,\Omega and 45o
C 10Ω10\,\Omega and tan-1(83)\left( {{8 \over 3}} \right)
D 7Ω7\,\Omega and tan-1(53)\left( {{5 \over 3}} \right)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

It is given that e0 = 283 V; ω\omega = 320. The inductor reactance is XL = 320 ×\times 25 ×\times 10-3 = 8

Ω\Omega

The capacitor reactance is

XC=1ωC=1320×1000×106=1000320=3.1Ω{X_C} = {1 \over {\omega C}} = {1 \over {320 \times 1000 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} = {{1000} \over {320}} = 3.1\,\Omega

It is given that R = 5

Ω\Omega

. Therefore, the total impedance is

Z=R2+(XLXC)2=50=7ΩZ = \sqrt {{R^2} + {{({X_L} - {X_C})}^2}} = \sqrt {50} = 7\,\Omega

and the phase difference between the voltage across the source and the current is

tanϕ=XLXCR=83.151θ=45\tan \phi = {{{X_L} - {X_C}} \over R} = {{8 - 3.1} \over 5} \approx 1 \Rightarrow \theta = 45^\circ
Q97
A series L-R circuit is connected to a battery of emf V. If the circuit is switched on at t = 0, then the time at which the energy stored in the inductor reaches (1n)\left( {{1 \over n}} \right) times of its maximum value, is :
A LRln(nn+1){L \over R}\ln \left( {{{\sqrt n } \over {\sqrt n + 1}}} \right)
B LRln(nn1){L \over R}\ln \left( {{{\sqrt n } \over {\sqrt n - 1}}} \right)
C LRln(n+1n1){L \over R}\ln \left( {{{\sqrt n + 1} \over {\sqrt n - 1}}} \right)
D LRln(n1n){L \over R}\ln \left( {{{\sqrt n - 1} \over {\sqrt n }}} \right)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

P.E. in inductor,

U=12LI2U = {1 \over 2}L{I^2}
UI2U \propto {I^2}
UU0=(II0)2{U \over {{U_0}}} = {\left( {{I \over {{I_0}}}} \right)^2}
1n=(II0)2{1 \over n} = {\left( {{I \over {{I_0}}}} \right)^2}
I=I0nI = {{{I_0}} \over {\sqrt n }}

We know,

I=I0(1eRLt)I = {I_0}\left( {1 - {e^{ - {R \over L}t}}} \right)
I0n=I0(1eRLt){{{I_0}} \over {\sqrt n }} = {I_0}\left( {1 - {e^{ - {R \over L}t}}} \right)

\Rightarrow

eRtL{e^{ - {{Rt} \over L}}}

= 1 -

1n{1 \over {\sqrt n }}

taking ln & solving we get,

t=LRln(nn1)t = {L \over R}\ln \left( {{{\sqrt n } \over {\sqrt n - 1}}} \right)
Q98
The phase difference between the alternating current and emfemf is π2.{\pi \over 2}. Which of the following cannot be the constituent of the circuit?
A R,LR,L
B CC alone
C LL alone
D L,CL, C
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

The phase difference between the alternating current and emf in an AC circuit depends on the components in the circuit: In a purely resistive (RR) circuit, the current and emf are in phase, meaning the phase difference is 00.

In a purely inductive (LL) circuit, the current lags behind the emf by π2\dfrac{\pi}{2}, meaning the phase difference is π2\dfrac{\pi}{2}.

In a purely capacitive (CC) circuit, the current leads the emf by π2\dfrac{\pi}{2}, again meaning the phase difference is π2\dfrac{\pi}{2}.

In an LL-RR or LL-CC circuit, the phase difference depends on the relative values of LL, RR, and CC and can be anywhere between 00 and π2\dfrac{\pi}{2}.

Therefore, if the phase difference between the alternating current and emf is π2\dfrac{\pi}{2}, then the circuit cannot contain only a resistor (RR) since that would give a phase difference of 00.

So, the answer is Option A: R,LR,L.

The phase difference would not be π2\dfrac{\pi}{2} if the circuit contains both a resistor and an inductor.
